First Breakfast Event for 2008 Business Networking Seminar 
Wednesday  FEBRUARY 20<sup>th 

A great successsful morning for all 73 Attendees .. and a very impressive talk.

Another truly inspiring breakfast time .. up over the Stadium field six levels above
the 'hallowed turf'.</sup>  

^{Thank you to the Stadium for the great service and attention to detail that they
always give to our Chamber functions.   We recommend others to book their events
in one the many room options.}

Queensland remains Australia's economic powerhouse - the best state to not only call
home, but also clearly the best state in which to do business.

But, even though Queensland continues on the road of responsible financial management 
it has travelled for the past two-and-a-half decades, there is no room for complacency.

Treasurer Andrew Fraser will drive home the need to exercise caution in 2008 - despite
our economic strength - and in light of the shifting global economy.

"If you were to take the pulse of the Australian economy it's strong and steady,"
Mr Fraser says.  "But, alarm bells are sounding and it's time for caution."

Breakfast above our Stadium and experience the awesome atmosphere  ...
